SafetySign.com does not recommend or specify the use of a specific safety sign because it does not have knowledge of the hazard(s) our customers are identifying. It is the customer’s sole responsibility to identify the hazard(s) that may be present and select one or more signs (stock or custom) that accurately identify their specific hazard(s) and complies with any applicable federal, state or local laws or regulations, any worksite specific rules or regulations and/or any applicable safety standards (including, without limitation, MUTCD standards). SafetySign.com disclaims any and all liability (excluding liability for our Product Warranty contained in our Terms and Conditions) for any sign selected by a customer and shall not be responsible for any personal injury or property damage resulting from the use of signs purchased from it or for the independent interpretation made of any applicable federal, state or local laws or regulations, any worksite specific rules or regulations, and/or any applicable safety standards (including, without limitation, MUTCD standards). Customer shall indemnify and hold SafetySign.com and its corporate parent and its officers, directors and affiliates harmless from and against any and all claims, loss or expense (including attorneys’ fees) arising from or related to the purchase and use by customer or any third party of any sign purchased by customer from SafetySign.com.

The viewing distances listed in this chart reflect the viewing distance for each of the sizes. The Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) does not provide specifics regarding the use of certain text heights at certain distances in order to improve legibility. Instead, the MUTCD has already determined all of the necessary text sizes and merely provides the specifications for various sizes of signs, which in turn all have specific use cases that must be followed in order to help keep drivers safe and aware of important regulations.

It is the responsibility of the end user to follow the guidelines and requirements of the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) in order to provide road users with signs that ensure optimal legibility.

Using the latest printing processes, your MUTCD Stop Sign is printed without set-up charges or minimums. These advanced digital processes also reduce set-up times, helping to get your signs shipped out faster than ever. SafetySign.com prints your graphics and text straight onto the substrate. Your UV ink printed text and graphics will not peel, unlike signs from companies that laminate graphics over the material.

Printing Methods

We choose our printing processes for each product carefully so you receive the best quality product at the lowest price with industry-leading turnaround times. Depending on your size, material, quantity, and other factors, your sign will print using one of our carefully-tested methods.

Cross-Hatch Ink Adhesion Test

SafetySign.com’s advanced printing process undergoes a stringent cross-hatching test. This specifically tests the adhesion and resistance to separation of the inks from the sign. In testing, a sample from the printing process is scored and covered in adhesive tape. The tape is removed and the sample assessed for adhesion quality.

We use a three-stage process to test all of our printing processes. We print our signs using only the processes that pass all three stages, giving you the highest quality signage possible.

Fonts

The text is printed in HGCPIXymbols font.

The MUTCD Stop Sign from SafetySign.com uses these fonts because they are used on all signs from the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). These fonts are easy to read in daytime and nighttime conditions, and they are still legible no matter
